In addition to our generous event sponsors, Chalk the Block 2025 is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. This support brings our community's creativity to life!
